Boys: Trofeo Bonfiglio, Italy - Grade A (Week 20)
Permalink  

With Oliver Golding, George Morgan and Tom Allen as direct entrants for the main European clay court tournament outside Roland Garros, Richard Gabb, James Marsalek and Lewis Burton have been attempting to join them via qualifying. Lewis lost in the final qualifying round, but Richard and James made their seeding positions count to ensure we have 5 in the main draw. Unfortunately neither have received favourable draws, though the field as a whole is of course very strong.

R1 (L64)

Oliver Golding (GBR) v (WC) Giammarco Micolani (ITA)
(Q) Richard Gabb (GBR) v Peter Heller (GER)
Tom Allen (GBR) v (8) Guilherme Clezar (BRA)
(Q) James Marsalek (GBR) v Mathias Bourgue (FRA)
George Morgan (GBR) v (SE) Vitor Galvao (BRA)

A couple of nice wins here... smile

James MARSALEK (GBR) defeated Mathias BOURGUE (FRA) 4-6 6-2 6-4
Richard GABB (GBR) defeated Peter HELLER (GER) 6-3 6-3


Bourgue was the winner of the Copa Gerdau, the Grade A tournie in Brazil in March, so is obviously an excellent clay-courter.  So a really good win by Marsalek.  biggrin


And Heller is WR21, so 3 & 3 win by Gabb there is impressive too.

Tom and Vesely lost their doubles quarter-final. If you want to see Vesely in action his singles semi is second on today, covered by Super Tennis TV (Hotbird 11.179H SR 27500 FEC 3/4 if you have satellite TV - may be streamed somewhere, but the Super Tennis website blocks streaming to the UK). At present Lauren Davis is surprisingly nonplussing the more powerful top seed Monica Puig in the first girls semi, having just taken the first set 6-3.
